I don't hole in non-tournament matches since I find that an easy (but not cheap) way to win. Seeing as I can't rely on holes to win matches in tournaments, I try to practice as if there wasn't a hole. To clear that up: I act as if there isn't a hole so I can practice breaking the def normally (like I would in tournaments (unless there was a hole)). (could this paragraph be any more confusing?...I'll start a new one).

If it's 1 vs (2 or more) and my teammate(s) is(are) in the zone, clearly the defense has failed it's job and I'll take the zone. What I hate the most is when I've broking the opposing defense and am in the zone sumoing while my teammate is "not ganking" and watching on the outside. GET IN THE ZONE! Ahh! I hate that =/

mainly i dont play to win - i play to have interesting and thrilling fights

thats why i never hole, because it is far too easy and makes it boring TO ME

usually my defs (if i got the possibility to build it completely is ungankable, so i rarely would have reasons to comply
but lately i was def on nano, teams about 4:5, and with lots of trouble i managed to build, then they shot a hole on oposite side and entered on 3.... i was close to complaining

another situation: my team was dead (also nano) and they came on 4, but they waited and attacked on 1:1
i won, but i really had to admire this gentitude

i think it really depends on the situation

if its 1:2 (on full server) and i come from def and there is an interesting fight, i hesitate (watching the fight) - its hard enough for enemies def to def on if he killed my teammate and usually the chances are by far better for me, but its still less boring

I totally agree with Kilabit's post.
Ok i didnt play tournaments so far but in normal games i prefer to loose then to gank or hole.
When i play i have the same attitude as 3dot postet in his first sentence.
